Nanoliter
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
Megaliter
A megaliter (ML) is a unit of volume equal to one million liters.
History/Origin
The megaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a larger unit for measuring large volumes, especially in water management and environmental contexts, following the adoption of the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Current Use
Megaliters are used today in fields such as hydrology, water resource management, and environmental science to quantify large volumes of liquids, particularly water.
